Disgraced Democrat Ex-Congressman Attempts Political Comeback—With Support From His Ex-Wife

Former Democratic Rep. Anthony Weiner, a convicted sex offender, is attempting a political comeback with a run for New York City Council. In a surprising twist, his ex-wife, Huma Abedin, and her sister have contributed to his campaign despite her past remarks about his scandals nearly destroying her.

Key Facts:

Anthony Weiner, a former congressman and convicted sex offender, is running for New York City Council.
His ex-wife, Huma Abedin, donated $175 to his campaign, and her sister, Heba Abedin, contributed $150.
Weiner resigned from Congress in 2011 after a sexting scandal and later served 21 months in prison for sending obscene material to a minor.
Huma Abedin previously stated Weiner’s scandals “almost killed her” and filed for divorce the same day he pleaded guilty.
Abedin is now engaged to Alex Soros, the son of billionaire donor George Soros.

The Rest of The Story:

Weiner, who once served in the U.S. House of Representatives, has a long history of political and personal scandals.

His career collapsed in 2011 when he resigned over an inappropriate photo posted on social media.

Despite this, he attempted a political comeback in 2013 with a run for New York City mayor, but more explicit messages emerged under his alias “Carlos Danger.”

In 2016, Weiner was caught sexting a 15-year-old girl, leading to an FBI investigation that uncovered emails tied to Hillary Clinton’s classified document scandal.

He was sentenced to 21 months in prison and required to register as a sex offender.

After his release, he attempted to rehabilitate his image, checking into a sex addiction rehab center.

Now, in another bid for office, Weiner has received small but shocking financial support from his ex-wife, Huma Abedin, and her sister.

This development raises serious questions about the state of politics in New York.

Commentary:

The Democratic Party appears to be scraping the bottom of the barrel.

Anthony Weiner is a convicted sex offender with minors—something that should disqualify him from public office permanently.

His past behavior was so disturbing that even hardened NYPD officers reportedly found images on his laptop nauseating.

Here is Sidney Powell discussing how hardened investigators had to go throw up after viewing videos on Anthony Weiners laptop, which had files and emails from Hillary Clinton & Huma Abedin on there.

And yet, somehow, he is making a political comeback.

Huma Abedin’s financial support for Weiner’s campaign is baffling but not entirely surprising.

After all, she is now engaged to Alex Soros, son of left-wing billionaire George Soros.

The Soros family has been a major force behind the election of radical district attorneys across the country—many of whom have refused to prosecute criminals or let violent offenders out on low bail.

Their influence has contributed to skyrocketing crime in major cities.

This situation also raises a larger question: what is happening in New York?

Former Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who forced COVID-positive seniors into nursing homes, leading to thousands of deaths, is now eyeing a run for mayor.

And now, Anthony Weiner, a registered sex offender, wants back into public service.

Is this really the best New York’s Democratic Party has to offer?

The fact that Weiner even has the audacity to run again shows just how broken the system has become.

One would hope the people of New York deserve would uphold basic moral and ethical standards, not disgraced politicians looking for redemption at the public’s expense.

The Bottom Line:

Anthony Weiner’s attempt at a political comeback is a disgrace, and the support from his ex-wife, Huma Abedin, only adds to the absurdity.

With crime rising and New York’s leadership in shambles, the last thing the city needs is another corrupt, scandal-ridden politician.

Voters should reject Weiner and send a clear message that some lines should never be crossed.
